Living liver donor safety: Preoperative aspects of living liver donation guidelines from the ILTS-iLDLT consensus conference.

Recommendations were based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system for assessment of recommendations, and Danish model of consensus was followed. This report presents 28 recommendations from the working group focused on addressing clinically relevant questions related to the preoperative aspects of living donor safety including assessment of donor acceptability (age, body mass index and hepatic steatosis; medical conditions and contraindications), medical and surgical workup (liver function and procoagulant work-up; anatomical considerations and safe remnant), and psychosocial evaluation (timing and team; underlying conditions; non-directed, paired, and anonymous directed donors; urgent living donor workups for acute liver failure).

Am J Clin Nutr
Alignment with Front-of-Package Labelling Policy and Risk of Hospitalization: Evidence from Canadian National Nutrition Survey Linked to Routinely Collected Health Administrative Databases.

In this exploratory analysis, greater alignment with FOP policy was associated with fewer hospital bed-days over 5 and 10 years. Sex-tailored risk-reduction strategies may be warranted with the strongest association in males. These findings reinforce the value of the "high-in" symbol; however, the nutrient-specific focus may still miss broader dimensions of diet quality. Complementary, whole-diet guidance remains essential to maximise population-level benefits and health-system savings.

Comparing Postprandial Inflammatory Responses to a Plant-Based Meat Alternative, Grass-Finished Beef, and Grain-Finished Beef in Healthy Middle-Aged Adults: A Three-Group Randomized Crossover Trial.

Despite differences in nutrient composition, acute consumption of grass-finished beef, a plant-based meat alternative, and grain-finished beef did not elicit significantly different postprandial inflammatory responses. These findings suggest that, in the short term, the choice between these protein sources may not meaningfully impact inflammation. Further research is needed to explore potential long-term health implications. Clinical trial registry

Prediabetes, Diabetes and Folate Status among U.S. Women of Reproductive Age: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-March 2020.

Diabetes and prediabetes were common among WRA. Diabetes was associated with high RBC folate concentration and high MeFox despite low folic acid intake; however, these associations were reduced among those with good glycemic control. Screening for and preventing the progression of prediabetes, diagnosis, and glycemic control among those with diabetes has the potential to prevent adverse outcomes.

A Real-World Longitudinal Case-Study Implementing Digital Screening and Treatment for Distress in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The COMPASS-IBD Patient Journey.

Routine mental health screening and COMPASS-IBD were successfully implemented in an outpatient IBD service, but support from trainee psychologists and the research team was required. This new integrated pathway can identify and treat psychological distress in IBD with minimal service resource.

Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Golimumab in Children with Moderately-To-Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis: Results from the PURSUIT 2 Study.

Overall, the results of the PURSUIT 2 study support golimumab treatment for children with moderately-to-severely active UC. ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03596645.

Low-Dose Aspirin and the Prevention of Colorectal Cancer in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Long-term use of low-to-moderate-dose aspirin was associated with reduced risks of CRC and mortality in patients with IBD. These findings support aspirin's potential as a chemopreventive agent and justify further randomized trials.

J Crohns Colitis
Intermittent ketogenic diet promotes Treg differentiation and alleviates Crohn's disease via the β-hydroxybutyrate driven AHCY-DNMT1-Foxp3 axis.

In an IL-10 knockout model, IKD improves intestinal barrier function and reshapes the gut microbiota. It is associated with BHB-induced Kbhb-mediated inhibition of AHCY, leading to SAH accumulation and DNMT1 downregulation, thereby promoting Treg differentiation. These findings suggest protective effects of IKD in the IL-10 knockout colitis model.

Quality metrics reflecting patient experience of GI endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: results of national endoscopy dataset analysis.

This analysis of a large national endoscopy dataset highlights variability in quality metrics for IBD endoscopy and underscores the need for a metric like PICI to more accurately capture and reflect patient endoscopic experience with IBD.

Age, comorbidity burden, and mortality risk in hospitalized patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Among a nationally representative cohort of hospitalized patients with HCC, comorbidity burden-not chronological age-was associated with in-hospital mortality. These findings highlight the importance of considering measures of physiologic reserve when engaging in treatment decision-making in patients with HCC, and moving beyond a focus on chronologic age as a predictor of outcomes.

Pancreas
The Association Between Serum Uric Acid to Creatinine Ratio and the Severity of Acute Pancreatitis.

Lower SUA/SCr levels are associated with an elevated risk of severe acute pancreatitis. These findings suggest that SUA/SCr may serve as a valuable biomarker for predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis in clinical practice.
